Answer: c) "My troops forced the surrender of Charleston, from which I led a new military government."

Explanation:

Henry Clinton was a very important British leader in the Revolutionary War and he eventually took over the entire British effort even though he had apparently tried to retire a number of times.

His army laid siege to Charleston in 1780 with over 10,000 men and by May the same year, the city had fallen and surrendered its 5,000 men. Clinton then formed a military government in the city.
